Summary
An American career criminal crashes through the Mexican border with a load of stolen cash and is thrown into El Pueblito, a chaotic prison that operates as a self-contained shantytown ruled by a powerful inmate kingpin. Inside, he forms an unlikely bond with a streetwise young boy and his mother, and uses his cunning to navigate the prison's corrupt power structure while plotting to recover his money and escape.
Get the Gringo is a 2012 action, drama and thriller film.
Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 1,021 of whom clear the calibration test. The calibrated figure is built from 156 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 158 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 13,058 2010s films, not against the whole corpus.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Get the Gringo lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2010s (13,059 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 156.
